As a certifying partner (CP), you are responsible for educating certified employers about their responsibility to complete annual maintenance audits and ensuring they have a current copy of the maintenance audit. As a certifying partner, you are also responsible for conducting quality assurance on all submitted maintenance audits.

Employers must conduct their maintenance audits before their certification anniversary date, but no earlier than six months from their previous audit in order to be eligible for the prevention rebate.

Perform quality assurance on maintenance audits

Review the maintenance audit file to ensure it is complete and accurate.

Review the action plan that is submitted with the maintenance audit file.

Confirm the maintenance auditor who conducted the maintenance audit has completed the Training Standard - Auditing For Certification (Maintenance Auditor). If an employer does not have a maintenance auditor, they can engage a SAFE Work Certified auditor through their CP to complete their maintenance audit.

Advise the maintenance auditor if they have met the maintenance audit requirements within 10 business days of receiving their completed maintenance audit files.

Work with the maintenance auditor to resolve any issues or concerns related to the maintenance audit, and if there are changes needed, have the maintenance auditor update the maintenance audit file prior to sending it to SAFE Work Manitoba.

For example, if the certification date is September 15, 2017, then the extension period would begin October 1 and end December 30.

The employer must send their CP a request for an extension. As their CP, you have first-hand knowledge of the validity of the issues or concerns the employer may have concerning their ability to meet their certification anniversary date deadline.

The provision of the extension, and its duration (not to exceed 90 days), is at the CP's discretion. However, any extension must be communicated to SAFE Work Manitoba by:
